thought this was pretty good so ill pass it along
>OBITUARY
>
>Died 24/7/365 in America's Heart, USA
>
>Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend by the name of Common
>Sense who has been with us for many years.
>
>No one knows for sure how old he was since his birth records were
>long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape.
>
>He will be remembered as having cultivated such value lessons as
>knowing when to come in out of the rain, why the early bird gets the
>worm and that life isn't always fair.
>
>Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies(don't spend
>more than you earn) and reliable parenting strategies(adults, not kids,
>are in charge).
>
>His health began to rapidly deteriorate when well intentioned but
>overbearing regulations were set in place.
>
>Reports of a six-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing
>a
>classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch;
>and
>a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his
>condition. It declined even further when schools were required to get
>parental consent to administer aspirin to a student; however they could
>not
>inform the parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an
>abortion.
>
>Finally, Common sense lost the will to live as the Ten Commandments
>became contraband; churches became businesses; and criminals received
>better treatment than their victims.
>
>Common Sense finally gave up the ghost after a woman failed to realize
>that a steaming cup of coffee was hot, she spilled a bit in her lap, and
>was awarded a huge settlement.
>
>Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and
>Trust, his wife, Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility; and his son,
>Reason.
>
>He is survived by two stepbrothers; My Rights and Ima Whiner.
>
>Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone.
>If you still know him pass this on, if not join the majority and do
>nothing.
